Pass Address Of A Structure Which Contains Addresses Of Othere Structures And Unions?
Jul 22, 2009
I am running into a problem which I am using C Dll into my VB.net code. I have .H file which shows implementation of this DLL in C language.This .H file contains many structures and unions that contain variable of some structures type. There is a main structure which contains the pointers to these structures and unions and finally address of main structure is passed into the dll function.
I am enable to figure out how to create structures and unions with marshalling in vb.net and how to pass address of a structure which contains addresses of othere structures and unions.
I have a simple email.aspx page that has From:, To:, Subject:, and Body: text boxes. The send button is set to send the email using smtp through System.Net.Mail in ASP.NET 4.
What I'm really trying to do is set the To: address to automatically retrieve all of the email addresses stored in my SQL database table that my customers entered when they registered for updates from my websites, rather than me type each one in by hand. I am wanting it completely automated without any user interaction.
I have looked everywhere for weeks to try to get help and I can't seem to find anything describing what I am trying to do.
As part of my application I am hoping to be able to get the user to enter their IP address and subnet mask which will then enumerate all of the hosts in between which can then be scanned for various open ports/applications installed.
For instance, With a network of 10.91.100.0/255.255.255.252 hosts are valid 10.91.100.1 - .2
How can this be done in vb.net? I would assume also some error checking would need to be put in place to confirm as to whether the subnet mask was valid as well?
I'm having a little trouble working with structures and using a counter for the same structure. my structure gets its data from a text file which i readoff and assign ok. Here's part of my code
In my VB.Net app, I want to read in a load of addresses from a database and then use word to create address labels on an Avery template L7163 which is then printed to the printer.
However, I have two issues:
1. Before word prints, I'm asked to select the printer etc. not exactly the nice automated application I was looking for.
2. Even though I get a nice printed out doc I was looking for, I also get a nasty looking error at the end which "loops" until I close my app -2147417848: The object invoked has disconnected from its clients. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800010108(RPC_E_DISCONNECTED))
Here is my code:
CODE:
I adapted the code for the actual mail merge by recording a Macro in Word As I manually ran one so I thought it would be ok.
im using vb8.net im struggling to make a program that will display email addresses so in other words if im using ms outlook then by the click of the button the program must go in to the windows registry and then look in the place where the email address is and then read that part and display the address in a text box.
I'm trying to implement a grid based RPG style inventory (teaching myself by making a game keeps me focused ) and I have an array of "item" objects. Part of this array is a picture box, which I then lay out in code to display the inventory. how to detect when one of these picture boxes is clicked. However, I'm having a little trouble getting my head around the Directcast command.
When a box is clicked, I would like the function 'boardclicked' to pass over not only the picture box, but the whole object it is associated with it, so I can print these values out the screen (detailing the objects name, value etc) [Code]. As you can see, this passes the picture box element of the object, but I'd like to be able to pass the whole structure, so I can retrieve the other associated values.
I'm creating a Data Layer for a Web Application and in one of my functions, I need to pass in a Structure full of Customer info. This Data Layer is essentially a DLL. My problem is that I'm not sure how to do this.Below is my code and what I want to do.
am trying to pass a structure that contains 2D arrays as Byte from VB.net to a C++ dll. The dll returns the structure with the 1D arrays filled. I am using UnmanagedType.ByValArray to pass the arrays from VB.net to C++.
I'm working on a project where I'm experimenting with building and implementing plugins. I have a structure called "sensor" in the plugin that contains several elements. I would like to be able to return that structure to my main program through the interface, but it doesn't work. The plugin works fine if I'm passing strings or other variable types, but when I switch from strings to my structure, I get a couple of errors. On my main form where I try to call the function, I get the error 'value of type iMyPlugin.sensor cannot be converted to frmMain.sensor'. In the plugin code, I get the error 'GetSensorReading cannot implement GetSensorReading because there is no matching function on the interface'. Is what I want to do possible, or is there a better way to do what I want?
I have a structure to hold a student name, an array to hold 5 test scores, and an average score. I have created an a array of structures for 6 students. User input is setup through text boxes. I want to calculate the average for each student. I have made a function to do this. What I am having trouble with is how to pass the array of test scores to the function.
Here is what I have so far:
CODE******** Public Const intMAX_STUDENTS As Integer = 6 Public Const intMAX_NUMTESTS As Integer = 5 Public student(intMAX_STUDENTS - 1) As StudentData
I'm trying to serialize a data structure and pass it to another report via parameter, and this line of code:
Dim s As New System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(GetType(System.Collections.HashTable))
Produces this error:
An error occurred during local report processing. The definition of the report '/myReport' is invalid. There is an error on line 22 of custom code: [BC30002] Type 'System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer' is not defined.
How can I get around this? I have been able to use fully defined .NET classes in other lines of code, including the following:
Dim outStream As New System.IO.StringWriter()
and
Private colorMapping As New System.Collections.Hashtable()
I have a linq union statement that has been giving me some trouble and I can't see where the issue is.The error is....All queries combined using a UNION, INTERSECT or EXCEPT operator must have an equal number of expressions in their target lists.
I know the error means that I am selecting different amounts of elements in one of the linq statements, but I've examined this query extensively and I haven't been able to see that as the issue.
I have a structure called 'Scheme' and in my program I want (ideally) an ArrayList of 'Schemes' (so i can add, remove schemes etc.). However, within the 'Scheme' structure, I want to have an ArrayList of 'Item''Item' is another structure. Are there any solutions out there for iterating through these arrays quite easily?
How can I easily add multiple Items to a Scheme and mutliple Schemes to my Scheme array. Code is below. When I try to add Items to a Scheme, I get the 'Object not set to a reference of an object, try the 'New' keyword', but you cannot declare 'New' keywork within a structure.
I read in the Book "Mastering Microsoft Visual Basic 2008" about "User-Defined data types".The example given is creating a Structure as follows.I wanted to check that so I wrote all the code given; I used a TextBox and a Button for this.(I didn't include the "CheckDate" here; that is in the book)
Structure CheckRecord Dim CheckNumber As Integer
[code]....
The problem is this does work.What I get is "00000". and I found out that the "Checks(4)" Array does hold any value ie: on keeping the cursor over that, it shows "CheckAmount 0.0, CheckNumber 0 , CheckPaidTo Nothing ".
Module Module1 Public Structure structure1 Public TRANS() As structure2 End Structure Public Structure structure2 Public X() As Integer End Structure End Module
I'm new to VB 2008 after having spent a long time with VB6, so I apologize if this is a stupid question. But I'd really like to have this straightened out.
Let's say I have a pretty large structure that has lots of properties.
Code:
Now say that I want an internal database with about 10 instances of this structure total, describing, say, 10 different products that a store sells. When these values are loaded from a database, they remain totally static. (However, they can be different each time a program loads)
Now say that I have a class. Each instance of this class is a type of that BaseProduct structure. Meaning, each instance of the class pertains to one of the 10 types of products that the store sells. However, this class has additional properties that pertain specifically to each instance, which are not static.
Code:
Now, the problem here is... If I have 200 different transactions, each one contains an instance of BaseProduct. BaseProduct is HUGE, and is largely redundant (only 10 types possible), so I think it's a little silly to include a whole copy of it with EVERY transaction. However, the Transaction class really needs information regarding the base product it pertains to. Is there a way to, instead of declaring a New BaseProduct in the Transaction class, to simply make one of the properties of the Transaction class a pointer to a BaseProduct variable?
In VB6, I would accomplish this by making a BaseProduct(10) array, and then giving each Transaction an ID number referring to an entry in that array. But in VB 2008, using class structure, this is impossible. I can't define the BaseProduct(10) array outside of a class in a namespace, and if I define it in the actual application's form, then the class loses modularity since it relies on the application that's using it.
I am trying to communicate with an external device and i am trying to send a byte array to the external device via sockets but i am always getting a response the message size is too small so i am not sure what i have done wrong. Between the data type there should be no alignment present and all numbers are represented in little endian format. The char array is not null terminated as mentioned in the protocol specifications.
I have to send data based on a struct that embeds 2 other struct. So here's my vb.net code for the struct used to convert to byte array and the sending part.
Public Structure MESSAGETYPE_OIP_Login Dim Header() As COMMANDHEADER Dim UserName() As PSTRING
I'm attempting to create a list of structures that contains a list of structures. I can't seem to figure out how to properly allocate the object for the inner list of structures. I expect the outer list of structures to have a couple thousand entries and the inner list of structures to be fairly small at 2 to 10. Both lists will grow over time but the number of elements within the inner list will be constant for an instance of the outer list. Meaning, if an instance of the outer list has 2000 entries each of those will have the same number of elements on the inner list, say 4 entries.
Here is a simplified code fragment. This fragment makes no attempt to create the instance of the inner list "StructBlist" since I can't figure out where to put it. Tried "New List(Of StructB)" in the declaration as well as "Alist(0).StructBlist = New List(Of StructB)" but neither works.
Public Class Form1 Structure StructA Dim FieldA1 As Integer
Are there any IP Address filters or masks available in Windows Forms as per following screenshot? A backslash shouldn't be allowed or it should be filtered somehow.
SocketException was Unhandled: Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted I get this error every time i click collect a second time.
I'm having a problem that's driving me crazy; I can't understand how to convert the XML structure into a class structure (that I want to use to hydrate a XML document).
The XML document looks like this:
xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <artists xmlns:opensearch="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/" xmlns="http://www.spotify.com/ns/music/1">
I made web browser which consist address bar that I use it to type addressess in it i.ewhen I type [URL] it opens [URL] but when I go to anther page in google it doesnot show it's link in address bar lix InterntExplorer or other international browsers so how to show any link or any sub page's link in my browser address bar ?
I'm trying to use the DHCP API (using the references on pinvoke.net) to retrieve a computer's MAC address when given the IP address but I can't get the code to work. I've run all the C# code on pinvoke.net through the C#-to-VB converter but I'm stuck now.
Here's what I have so far. The value of res is always 5 (should be 0). Thing is, I can't find any documentation on what the return codes mean
vb Private Sub GetMACDim client As String = "1.1.1.1" Dim server As String = "0.0.0.0" Dim si As New NativeMethods.DHCP_SEARCH_INFO si.SearchType = NativeMethods.DHCP_SEARCH_INFO_TYPE.DhcpClientIpAddress si.ClientIpAddress = Convert.ToUInt32(StringIPAddressToUint32(client)) Dim res As UInteger Dim oInfo As IntPtr
